Google buys Orion

Google has bought Orion, which is a new search algorithm developed by Ori Allon, an Israeli doing his research at Univ of South Wales, Aussie.Orion, finds pages where the content is about a topic strongly related to the keyword.
Excerpt from the news --
"Take a search such as the American Revolution as an example of how the system works. Orion would bring up results with extracts containing this phrase. But it would also give results for American History, George Washington, American Revolutionary War, Declaration of Independence, Boston Tea Party and more. You obtain much more valuable information from every search."

MS and Yahoo also tried getting Orion but failed. Mr.Ori Allon has been hired by Google. Any idea how Orion algo works ??!! (maybe it has AI built into it ?!)
